Process
The interview began with the camera off and no introduction, diving straight into technical questions.
The interviewer presented several code blocks and asked me to identify the output.
It felt more like a test than a conversation, with little discussion about the company or the role.
Questions
Lots of very specific C++ behaviors, mostly on pointers and memory management.
